The hurricane blew through yesterday and last night. Honestly, it wasn't as big of a deal here in DC as I expected. We never lost power (although it did flicker a lot and I thought we'd lose it), and had no damage to our condo. I feel badly for folks that got it worse than we did. One of hubby's coworkers had a tree fall on his house and it ripped off half his roof - yikes!
One nice thing was that I didn't have to work yesterday or today. Hubby even had most of the last two days off, although spent a good amount of time on the phone and went in to the office for a few hours each day. It was fun having him home - we did a puzzle and got some projects done around the house. Back to the grind tomorrow...
I went for a run today, and it was the first one that I really didn't think I'd complete. I had awful shin splits - something I haven't dealt with for years and years. It got so painful that I could barely keep going and I was almost in tears (and about to call Hubby to come pick me up). I made it through, although I'm still debating whether that was the right choice or not. I've got ice on my shins now and am hoping that helps.
Other than the pain, it was a cool run. It was like I was alone in the world. I didn't see another living soul (unless you count a squirrel and a heron). It was still raining (and it was a COLD) rain. The sidewalks were littered with leaves - to the point that at times, I couldn't tell where the sidewalk began and ended. There were small sticks and limbs down everywhere, and I splashed through my fair share of puddles.
All in all, I survived another day and had a cool experience doing so.
